His Excellency,

Save Al-Quds Global Campaign Malaysia
Memorandum to the United Nations

Save Al-Quds Global Campaign Malaysia, a coalition of 27 NGOs in Malaysia in collaboration with our international partners would like to urgently draw your attention to the extremely dangerous and volatile developments in Al-Quds.

Save Al-Quds Global Campaign Malaysia reaffirms that:
1.     Al-Aqsa mosque in Baitul Maqdis  (al-Quds), also known as Jerusalem is the third              holiest site in Islam and is located in the old city.

2.     Al-Quds, historically is the only site in the world which is home to the three great monotheistic teachings, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

3.     The United Nations (UN) defines Al-Aqsa as being in Palestinian Occupied Territory and should protect its security and sanctity.

Save Al-Quds Global Campaign Malaysia notes alarmingly that:
1.     The Israeli Occupying Forces (IOF) had repeatedly stormed the compound and occupied Al Aqsa Mosque.

2.     The blatant and unlawful use of firearms in the mosque had resulted in outbreaks of fire with damages to the carpets, mosaic works and various structures of the mosque.

3.     The IOF controlled the gates of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, prohibited Muslims from entering and escorted Israeli religious and political extremists inside the compound.

4.     Illegitimate excavations occurring beneath Al-Aqsa Mosque is further weakening its foundations, distorting its  history and is being used as a  synagogue.

5.     All these illegal activities are consistent with Israel’s policy of “Judaisation”; a racist policy aimed towards eliminating everything non-Jewish in the Holy Land.

Save Al-Quds Global Campaign Malaysia urges the United Nations to:
1.     Step up its international obligation to ensure peace and security in the Palestinian Occupied Territories and the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque and all the holy sites in Jerusalem.

2.     Stop Israel’s violations and intrusions against Al-Aqsa Mosque which if left unchecked will escalate into another major crisis threatening peace and security in the whole world.

3.     To end the occupation of all Palestinian Occupied Territories and to compel Israel to allow full access to all the Palestinians worshipers to Al-Aqsa Mosque and all the holy sites in Jerusalem.

4.     To enforce all resolutions passed by the United Nations in relation to  Palestinian Occupied Territories.
